Answer 2

The statement that is not true is: The source of the plague in Europe was Genoese merchants who brought it from the Black Sea region. Option A is correct.

The Black Death constituted a mortal global epidemic of bubonic plague that swept over Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina. Surprisingly, most sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those still alive were severely ill.
